Lexus OEM Brake Pads

The disc brake system in your car or SUV relies upon three major components to produce friction and slow your Lexus vehicle. Brake pads are one, and among the most important.

What Lexus Brake Pads Do

When you press your foot against the brake pedal, that causes the brake cylinders to send hydraulic brake fluid through brake lines and brake hoses. The pressure of that fluid forces the brake calipers to clamp onto the brake rotors and generate the resistance you need to slow -- and eventually stop -- the wheels. However, if the calipers were to directly press against the rotors, they'd both suffer damage from the metal-on-metal contact. The brake pads help to cushion that and protect against harm.

The Types of Lexus Brake Pads

Organic

Organic brake pads are the most common kind seen these days, and usually used with cars and SUVs like your Lexus LX 600. They're affordable, reliable, and easiest on the brake rotors.

Metallic

Typically found on trucks, metallic brake pads feel firmer and are better able to resist heat.

Ceramic

Ceramic brake pads are also likeliest to be used by trucks. They're quieter and more dependable on wet roads.

Carbon Fiber

Lastly, carbon fiber brake pads are generally used on sports cars and other performance vehicles like the Lexus RC F. They're tough, temperature-resistant, and offer exceptional stopping capabilities.
